Britain is definitely showing the US how it’s done on America’s Got Talent: The Champions – with Paul Potts following in Susan Boyle’s footsteps with a staggering performance.

Mel B can’t hide her shock as opera singer Paul takes to the stage and, 12 years after winning Britain’s Got Talent, proves to have a more powerful voice than ever.

In a sneak peek of the upcoming episode, TVLine revealed that Paul receives a standing ovation for his efforts from both the audience and the judges as they stand in awe at his efforts.

The first in line to applaud him? Simon Cowell, who must be remembering the magic from 2007 that’s clearly still there.

After Susan Boyle was sent through to the live shows last week thanks to Mel B’s golden buzzer, is it possible for Paul to bring another win for Britain on the international competition with a golden buzzer of his own?

Simon Cowell and Howie Mandel are still to play their one off guarantee to the live shows, so there is every possibility Paul and Susan could be clashing in the upcoming rounds.

But he’ll have to get through the episode first – and the competition looks like it could be a tough one.

Joining Paul on episode three of the talent show will be a number of faces that have their own stake their claim on becoming the champion of champions from the franchise.

They’re all fighting for a place in the finale – which is getting more intense by the day with Susan Boyle, comedian Preacher Lawson, danger troupe Deadly Games and Cristina Ramos already securing their place.

Have they done enough to make it through to the next round?

America’s Got Talent airs Mondays on NBC in the US and Tuesdays on Netflix in the UK.
